Claire Thomas-Junius is a specialist in exercise physiology. Her research focuses on the responses and adaptations of energy metabolism, in the context of optimizing sports performance and health. Passionate about sport and physiology, she devotes her work to better understanding physiological mechanisms in order to individualize sports training and improve health through physical activity. Claire Thomas-Junius is a former middle-distance athlete. It was only natural for her to take an interest in sports physiology, and she began studying biology at Paris-Diderot University in 1996. She then went on to do a DEA in human motricity and disability at the Université Jean-Monnet in Saint-Étienne, followed by a PhD in exercise physiology at the Université de Montpellier. In 2004, she defended her thesis on energy metabolism, i.e. the energy production mechanism of muscle fibers.
